Repair the leak, not just the stain
Flat roof leaks can be difficult to locate because water travels beneath the membrane before it enters the building. Patching the first visible mark without checking the roof edges, outlets and adjoining details can leave the real fault untouched.
We repair EPDM, felt and lead flat roofs on extensions, garages, dormers, porches and commercial buildings. We assess the membrane, seams, trims, flashings, outlets and the deck below before explaining the practical options.
Some roofs need a local repair; others have reached the point where replacement is more reliable. Our advice is based on the actual roof condition, not on automatically recommending the biggest job.
Know the warning signs
Flat roof issues we regularly diagnose
If you recognise one of these issues, an early inspection can help protect the rest of the roof and the rooms below it.
Leaks after heavy rain
Water can enter through a seam, edge trim, flashing or outlet and travel before appearing on the ceiling below.
Cracked or lifted detailing
Open joints, loose trims and failed sealant leave vulnerable edges exposed to wind-driven rain and repeated movement.
Soft spots and damaged decking
A spongy area may indicate that moisture has reached the deck. It needs assessment before another membrane is installed over it.
How we help
How we repair flat roofs
Our experienced team gives you practical advice and workmanship suited to the property, the roof construction and the problem found.
Membrane and seam repairs
We repair suitable EPDM and felt defects using compatible materials and methods designed for the existing system.
Flashings, trims and edge details
We renew failed junctions around walls, rooflights, parapets and edges where small defects often allow significant water entry.
Outlet and ponding investigations
We check drainage routes, blocked outlets and roof falls to understand why water is collecting and whether a local correction is possible.
Repair or replacement advice
If the covering or deck is too far gone for a dependable patch, we explain the replacement options and provide a transparent quotation.

Helpful answers
Flat Roof Repairs FAQs
Can a flat roof leak be repaired from the inside?
Internal work may help with the consequences, but the roof covering and external details must be inspected to stop water entering. We focus on finding and fixing the external cause.
Can you repair a flat roof in winter?
Weather and the condition of the surface affect which repairs can be completed safely. After inspection, we explain any temporary protection and the earliest suitable permanent repair.
How do I know whether my flat roof needs repair or replacement?
The age, area and type of damage all matter. We assess the membrane, deck, insulation and drainage, then give an honest recommendation rather than relying on the leak alone.
